LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A local pizza shop that's had its cooking oil stolen multiple times is showing off the success of its anti-theft equipment. Thieves have siphoned off the used oil from Paesan's outside container to sell for recycling into fuel -- no matter what kind of locks were used.
But Frank Scavio, the owner of the Latham business, installed a $10,000 anti-theft tank in March, and it worked. He shared on social media video of the oil bandits peering into the container and then realizing there was no way to put a hose in.
Scavio said he's excited to tell the company who sold him the anti-theft tank about the success.
